Chino Hills burglary suspect found with stolen police badges

Sheriff's deputies on Monday found two stolen police badges at the home of a suspected car burglar in Pomona.

Omar Sandoval, 18, was one of two suspects allegedly caught breaking into a vehicle in the 3100 block of Skyview Ridge in Chino Hills, San Bernardino County sheriff's officials said.

Sandoval and a 15-year-old boy were both arrested after they were found driving on the northbound 71 Freeway in Pomona. The vehicle had been stolen from Los Angeles and both suspects had stolen property taken from the vehicle in Chino Hills, officials said.

Deputies searched Sandoval's home early Monday, finding an assault weapon, a handgun and two police badges. The badges had been taken in a car burglary in San Dimas.
